Unable to start my robot process from command line in Uipath

Question

Hello,

I’m not able to start my robot process from the command line using another user account. Currently I’m starting the process like this:

“C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath Studio\UiRobot.exe” 
/file:“C:\Users\UserName\Documents\UiPath\UiPath\Robot\Main.xaml” /executor /monitored

It works fine but the automation starts under the user account that launches the command. According to the instructions I should use the /target argument but I can’t get it to work properly. I’ve tried arguments like:

/target:domain\UserName
/target=domain\UserName
/target:“domain\UserName”
/target=“domain\UserName”

I’ve added both, the domain\UserName as well as UiPath:user=domain\UserName to Windows Credentials. The domain\UserName user also has Log on as batch job privileges.

Does anyone have examples how this should be done?

Hey Apeksha,  you can’t use /executor and /target together because /executor overrides the /target argument. Target should be used like this: /target domain\UserName
